EditSteps

  1. Choose a Computer Password That is Hard to Guess Step 1.jpg
    1
    Change your password to something like 6627giraffe72, 369fishy963, iluvpeanuts2449 or even, bff4evr3474. When changing your password, make sure it doesn't specifically relate to you in any way. (Especially the numbers. Don't make the numbers your date of birth, phone numbers, year of birth etc.)

    Always make your password a combination of letters, symbols and numbers. This creates a lot more difficulty to somebody who's trying to bypass your password.
  3. 3
    If (that's a big if) somebody asks for your password, it may be best to tell them if they can physically harm you. If you give them a fake password, they're going to enter it and realize it's not your password. Also, ask yourself, is jeopardizing my safety really worth not telling somebody my password?

    If it's something like your favorite color or your friend's name, your best option is to change it, but make sure you can remember it easily!
  5. 5
    To make it a puzzle, cut up some bits of paper and write 2 or 3 letters and/or numbers on each piece of paper. Put 1 piece in a chest of yours, put another in your pocket, and spread the other pieces around your bedroom. Make sure you write the order of them on the piece of paper, for instance, for the first piece of paper, you would write a tiny little 1 in the corner of it, for the second one, a 2 & so on. The numbers have to be big enough to see but not too big that anyone could find out that that's the purpose of the small numbers.
